The CEO's Beloved Wife (Jenlisa Adaptation)

Chapter 90

Father manoban called again. This was well within the expectation of Lisa and Jennie. However, Lisa didn't answer the call this time. Instead, Mina had to half-heartedly answer it. she said that she would notify her but wouldn't promise anything.

With such an ambiguous response, Father manoban was incapable of ascertaining Lisa's thoughts. And because he was uncertain, she didn't dare act impulsively. Especially the press conference in the afternoon made her hesitant.

Should he go or not go? If he did, there were some benefits. he could clear his 'unfilial' reputation furthermore. After all, this press conference would make public of the old man's funeral place and time. Although the brothers hadn't personally attended the funeral, they had spent a lot of money and effort into this. It was definitely grand and magnificent, enough to prove their filiality

On the other hand, if he did not, he might have to face the Kim family's retaliation. If something happened and they said something they shouldn't, he would be in trouble. Although the Manoban Family was powerful, it was clearly at a disadvantage in the media aspect. The amount of media power they had control over or could rope in was limited. Plus, obviously, this strength couldn't compare to that of Long Media, one of the biggest media houses. This was also a reason why he wanted to work with Lisa!

Also, if he failed to show up, the other brothers might counter-attack. Although he believed these two were inept at doing anything and couldn't be compared to him, their combined shares were 50%. he really needed to worry about the two of them. If they did join hands, it was hard for him to turn the tables!

Manoban Family had convened the press conference under the guise of conducting a funeral for the old man. The three Manoban Brothers, as well as the grandsons all showed up. This was to clear their names about being unfilial. No matter how unwilling the younger generation was, they wouldn't dare not to show up.

Several newsmen were present at this press conference. This included people from the Long Media and Tian sheng Media. Once everybody had arrived, the press conference commenced.

"Thank you, everyone, for attending this press conference. The main purpose behind the Manoban Family holding this press confidence is to clear some false rumors. My father has only just passed away and this is a huge attack on the sons and daughters of the Manoban Family. Our grievances can't be expressed through words..."

Father manoban spoke for about 20 minutes or so on stage. he started off by trying to garner some sympathy. Then, he shared some of his memories with old man Manoban. This included longing affection and respect for his father. It evoked heavy sighs from the audience. The speechwriter had indeed done a pretty good job. His writing style was great and apt at stirring up people's emotions. However, it was unclear how long Father manoban had spent in memorizing this speech manuscript.

After Father manoban, the other brothers spoke as well. The three talked for about an hour and the press underwent a change. After their speeches, it was time for the reporters to ask questions.

The Long Media's reporters inquired impolitely. "Did you guys personally attend old man Manoban's funeral arrangements? If you guys did, what parts did you participate in? Or did you guys just give some money?"

Face in the Manoban Family all turned ugly at the obvious mocking question. Yet, there was a smile on all the other reporters. Of course, the smiles were quite sarcastic.

It's not that they were laughing heartlessly and chatting about the arrangements of the funeral, but did the Manoban Family not expect them to see through the fact that they were just pretending? The question that the reporter had asked was overly narrow. It struck right at the heart of the issue which made them laugh.
